I literally don’t have a shirt on from transition until discharge
Baby sleeps attached to my nipple. I tell nurses to go away and come back later for vitals.
This is a $10,000 stay I’m paying for and you best believe I’m gonna get the service I WANT.
I'm convinced they do everything they can to make your initial breastfeeding experience as uncomfortable as possible. The hospital staff repeatedly coming in to take vitals and ask for exact times spent nursing and changing diapers and giving you a spreadsheet to fill out is enough to make anyone feel insane. I got told off for nursing "the wrong way" (any position that's not cradle or football hold) and repeatedly offered formula.
I am thankful I was confident in my plan to keep baby latched as MUCH as possible, no matter how many times they interrupted us. At some point I gave up on trying to maintain modesty.

so if I was super poor and on Medicaid I get a doula for free but since we’re medium and pay $9000/yr in insurance premiums for an HMO plan, there’s no doula services even partially included or covered.
Cool. Cool cool cool.
I’m having fun when strangers see my pregnant belly and politely say something like “is this your first?” And I get to reply “no, fifth” and watch their face
Oh I didn’t realize this guy was a childhood Hollywood star.
Was likely raped and abused as a child - I’m kinda giving a pass on his current lifestyle. Probably turned out a lot better than other alternatives.

When the risks become higher in the disease category than they are in the side effect category, that’s when people will switch.
Getting measles or chickenpox is not a big deal and the risk is still higher on the vaccine side for very young kids.
As kids get older into their early teens it’s less risky to vaccinate for things also. The risk is much higher on teeny tiny bodies
The vaccine political realignment of 2020-2023 is gonna flip again within 10 years. Open borders and failing health systems in general will change American conservatives' minds on this issue.

Pattern recognition is neuroticism
If you're a mom who reads this and your thinking is "ok but if they're not in bed on time that means their bedtime is off which means they'll be cranky in the morning which means they'll be hard to manage for the next few days until their schedule catches up and then and then and then" you are NEUROTIC, this is called "neurotic thinking," and the rx is 500mg of Chill Out, Baby, It's Not That Big Of A Deal

This is the ideal but I think for most women now (trying to have big families), they DON’T have any sisters, aunts, grandmas around helping.
So it just has to be the husband
If I did have a sister, mom, aunt around then I also would prefer the women handle the littles and the men be out with the older ones
I grew up in circles with large families. A father was never expected (nor did he ever) step in to help with toddlers. That's the job of an older sister, aunt, grandmother etc. In general, we believe that the care of young children belong to women except for extreme emergencies

how the fuck am I supposed to live in this house with no clothes in my room, nowhere to get ready, no place to put anything in the bathroom, no food storage, no rooms to put the separate napping children in
I feel so close to kms every freaking day. I can’t stand it.

Almost everything is difficult and frustrating here
Kids have to drag a chair from the dining room to the bathroom to brush their teeth or wash their hands, because there’s nowhere to put a step stool in the bathroom, and that’s the next closest room to do it
No dishwasher so our counters are always covered in dirty dishes or clean dishes and no room to cook stuff or be prepping stuff all day. Very claustrophobic feeling all the time even visually
No basement or pantry or closets to put food. I have to use a few makeshift shelves that can’t keep 1/5 of the food we’d normally keep around and available. Limits my ability to buy in bulk and save money / time.
The kids do not sleep well with each other. Constantly on different schedules or waking each other up and everyone is cranky.
the only closet is upstairs through a child’s room so if I want to put laundry away or in theory get ready/dressed (if I even had time to put a wardrobe together) then I can only do it during times the kids are A) awake and B) take the baby and toddler up with me and C) being able to prioritize that when both are not fussy and crying
Constantly SHUSHSHSHSHHSHSING everyone for 7 hours of the day is driving me insane and probably them too. I get fits of cortisol rage from the constant threat of the babies being woken up from sleep from the noise.
I’m seriously losing it
